Hold the phone – Hillary Rodham Clinton and Caroline Kennedy are staying mum on whether they have spoken, days after Caroline’s call to the senator on Monday.

Aides to both Democrats refused to say whether the pair had made contact.

Several sources close to both women said they hadn’t spoken as of Tuesday, and it was unclear whether they had connected yesterday.

Clinton is leaving to become President-elect Barack Obama’s secretary of state, and Kennedy has made clear to Gov. Paterson – who has sole power to pick the replacement – that she’d like Clinton’s seat.
